The gardens are beautiful, I was lucky to visit when many plants were in bloom - esp. the roses.
I only wish I could have stayed longer, it was a nice day and it was relaxing to walk the grounds and admire the natural essence of the gardens

If you love flowers, you will definitely enjoy walking the grounds here. We've been here several times over the years and the many varieties of plants and flowers is truly amazing. There are several benches around the grounds and you can even take a stroll on a dyke adjacent to the grounds. We would highly recommend the Gardens for a...

A highlight of our trip to Nova Scotia. Not to be missed. Listed in the book 1001 Gardens You Must See Before You Die. 17 acres of beauty, and with a variety of types of gardens: Lovely and enchanting.

I've been to the Historic Gardens in Annapolis Royal many a time and never fail to appreciate the slower pave and the serenity of the gardens. For seniors, the fee is just $9.75 plus tax, and you can stay as long as you like. Besides the gardens--my favourite spot--you can browse the gift shop and stop in at the little...
